6:04 pm
about breaking the law? i can't pressure struggled to head back the believe i am asking you this but there's a lot of talk of what the tide as michael hooper punched his prime minister would do because he way through before their lead was said he will not ask for a delay to cut to a point. this was tense. the extension for article 50 but australia gave everything, but wales then the law that was put through somehow held firm. and it is wales means he will have to if there is no deal. how can you swear this to in tokyo! even for the most things? what will the supreme court experienced of welsh warriors, this too if we even ventured down that was one they will never forget. route? i too if we even ventured down that route ? i want too if we even ventured down that route? i want to be in a party that katie gornall, bbc news, tokyo. makes laws, not breaks them. we need to focus on getting brexit across the line. i reiterate the purpose of lewis hamilton moved a step closer to a 6th formula 1 world title after winning pa rt the line. i reiterate the purpose of part one, that is all we need to do. the russian grand prix. there needs to be political will to his mercedes team took advantage get that across the line. there are of a ferrari meltdown to finish first and second in sochi, technical issues absolutely with extending hamilton's lead northern ireland and that is why in the drivers' championship to 73 steven barkley is working on those but it is possible, we can do this stop you think your former points, with 5 races to go. colleagues should be allowed back into the party? dominic raab said today that if they were to vote for the wet weather wreaked havoc jeremy corbyn as premise or they at today's men's race at the road would never be forgiven. i don't world championships in yorkshire. flooding had already believe there would be allowed back caused the course to be shortened to 261 kilometres — in apart if they did that. do you think the needs for find way to get before several riders crashed out —

6:06 pm
jam packed with talent. but dina is dame margaret hodge, who is facing a re—selection battle having an excellent season. just after her constituency three weeks ago she beat the pocket voted for the chance to pick a new candidate. the former labour deputy rocket shelly—ann fraser—pryce to leader harriet harman said the diamond league sprint title but she was dismayed by the move, the diamond league sprint title but saying "surely this cannot stand". the jamaican is the most famous the former foreign secretary female sprinter of all time, three olympic titles, seven world titles. david miliband said and yesterday, with her yellow hair flowing, she recorded the fastest it was "mad, truly crazy". and that, "any constituency would be ever heat in the women's100 metres, lucky to have margaret as their mp." and the deputy leader 10.8 seconds, faster than dina has of the labour party tom watson said ever run. there will be plenty of he had "no doubt margaret will win a full selection" but that other challenges and dina's best the process was an unnecessary chance will come in the 200 metres distraction on the cusp of a general election. on wednesday night. but a medal of dame margaret, who'sjewish and has any colour tonight would make been critical ofjeremy corbyn‘s handling of anti—semitism british history. natalie pirks, in the party, said she was "disappointed" but would fight thank you. clive, that is the spot. to keep her seat in east london. that's it. i'll be back with the late news at ten. 00:06:44,314 --> 2147483051:40:06,872 now on bbc one, time 2147483051:40:06,872 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 for the news where you are. to remain as the labour party cabinet embarking which she has represented since winning a by—election their 25 years ago. polls have just closed in austria's general election, with the former chancellor sebastian kurz looking to return to powerjust four months after he was ousted from office.
6:07 pm
a no—confidence vote brought down his government when a video surfaced showing his coalition partner offering government contracts in exchange for campaign support. toa to a woman who claimed to be the relatives of a russian oligarch. our correspondent bethany bell is following developments in austria. bethany good evening to you. what 110w bethany good evening to you. what now is looking likely to be the outcome of this election? it has been a very good evening for sebastian kurtz, the 33—year—old former chancellor as you said there. he is actually emerged from this stronger than he was before the government collapsed back in may. his coalition partner on the other hand his former coalition partner the freedom party has paid the price for that scandal. they dropped by around 10%. it looks as though mr
6:08 pm
ku rtz around 10%. it looks as though mr kurtz is on track to be given the mandate to form a coalition government and it looks as though he will get around 37% of the vote and he has a number of options when it comes to a coalition partner but they are all quite complicated for some people here are wondering whether he will try and form another packed with the far right freedom party which could be quite risky for them or will he try and do some thing new in austrian politics would be to form a pact with the green party which has done really quite well tonight. they have gone from no positions in parliament from the last time round to 14% or so. could he form on alliance with them and possibly another liberal party? big questions ahead and likely to be difficult negotiations.” questions ahead and likely to be difficult negotiations. i was looking at a quote from mr kurz as he think his supporters as they were celebrating this afternoon. he said,
6:09 pm
"i am really lost for words but today i am really speechless. we we re today i am really speechless. we were looking forward to a good result but of course we cannot expect such a good result." and i suppose the most dramatic thing was having being warned when going into coalition with the freedom party of the conservatives being tainted by association of what has been going on as association of what has been going onasa association of what has been going on as a far—right party, almost an extremist party to some at least in western europe, it is quite the reverse. the freedom party hubs suffered badly and his party has emerged at the top of the pole. —— the freedom party has suffered badly. yes, he certainly has done extremely well tonight. but this is a very delicate moment because he has presided so far over to coalitions collapsing, one with the freedom party and the social democrats before that. if you now chooses to go back into a coalition with the freedom party which would be the easiest thing to do probably in terms of content, they both share quite strong anti—migrant views for
6:10 pm
example. if that government were to go wrong again, mr kurz‘s long—term legacy is like me to suffer. so the question is will he try this other very different thing which is to try and persuade the greens to come into and persuade the greens to come into a government with him. now, that could be very welcome formats or curse in some ways because climate issues have really started emerging asa issues have really started emerging as a major issue for the lecture. —— that could be welcome for mr kurz. but in other ways the greens and mr kurz are very far apart. the greens are very pro—migrant, mr kurz has taken a very anti—hard—line line on migrants. what will he now was mac and even if he is able to put together a coalition with the greens and possibly the liberal neo— party, would that be stable? it is a delicate time for him now. his long—term legacy depends probably a
6:11 pm
lot on this. can you fit into what is happening austria to the broader picture what is happening. we have had the rise of populist parties in government in italy given the christian democrats a real scare in germany, marine le pen also wasted —— also doing very well in france and the arrival of a new party in spain almost out of nowhere. is there any sense that austria has found an accommodation, away with and its politics of accommodating parties that not so very long ago would be regarded to many in the mainstream as unacceptable? would be regarded to many in the mainstream as unacceptable ?m would be regarded to many in the mainstream as unacceptable? it very much depends on who you speak to hear. this is a very polarising subject. there are those who argue like mr kurz bring in the far right, keep them close and try and tame them if you will, try and bring them down and expose them for what they
6:12 pm
are as well. the others would say by doing that, mr kurz himself have smoothed a great deal further to the right then the conservative party used to be here. and then there are those who say mr kurz himself don't seem to have much of an ideology himself, he is someone who is extremely flexible. he has some but who perhaps the greens could do business with. it's a very public it a problem. and the thing that has happened over the years that i have beenin happened over the years that i have been in austria certainly and see is the freedom party thrives in opposition. it has a great machine party machine that has been able to do that and there have been times when it has been a government before it has crashed out like it has done now and then it grows up again. and there are those in austria who would say maybe we will see that starting to happen again. it is a complicated dance, a difficult issue and people
6:13 pm
hear it very much depends on who you speak to us to the best way of dealing with the extremes if you like in austrian politics. bethany bell in vienna. thank you very much. sebastian kurz back to the chancellorship in vienna it would appear. at the tender age of only 33. i look at the headlines now. borisjohnson insists he's a "model of restraint" as he defends his conduct in the row about language in the brexit debate. there have been running street battles in hong kong mark some of the worst violence, in more than three months, of anti—government protests. a bbc investigation uncovers suffering and abuse at licensed puppy farms, in west wales. let's take a closer look to the government's pledge to put billions of pounds into hospital projects across england. the proposals include a £2.7 billion investment for six hospitals over five years and a new approach to mental health treatment to be trialled in 12
6:14 pm
areas across the country. earlier we heard from anita charlesworth, director of research and economics at the health foundation. it's a big investment in one sense on top of theresa may's investment last year which was for day—to—day running costs of the nhs. but although it sounds like a lot of money, we've had so many years of underinvestment in our hospital infrastructure that actually rather than spending £2.7 billion across the next five years, you'd almost certainly need to spend £2.7 billion a yearfor the next five years to really modernise the physical infrastructure of the health service. and the nhs doesn't just need buildings. it needs computers. people may well remember the malware virus last year. and it needs things like mri and ct scanners which are really important for diagnosing cancer.
6:15 pm
and we are way behind our european partners in access to some of this critical infrastructure and one of the big gaps in today's announcement is that beds and capacity are useful but actually you need doctors and nurses to staff those beds. and we've got a shortage of 40,000 nurses and today's announcement still does nothing about what the government is going to do to address chronic shortages in the workforce. after nine years of austerity, there's general agreement that if we want a world class health service, we will have to pay for that and that will require substantial investment in buildings and staff as well. anita charlesworth of the health foundation. an 7.2 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of chile, the us geological survey says. the quake was centred 83 miles west of talca, and happened at a depth ofjust 6.1 miles. a very shallow earthquake close to the surface.
6:16 pm
the pacific tsunami warning center says a tsunami is not expected. hundreds of people have been protesting outside a church in antrim in northern ireland, which received millions of pounds in donations from the parent company of wrightbus. the bus—making firm went into administration, earlier this week, following financial problems leaving twelve hundred people redundant. a short time ago, john campbell who's the bbc‘s northern ireland economics and business editor told me just how significant this company was to the local economy. it was one of the most successful manufacturing employers, its most famous product was the new london route master that red double—decker but in recent years had been under increasing financial pressure and into administration at the end of last week costing more than 1,000 people at theirjobs. the reason that some of those workers were protesting outside that church today was to do with donations which that church received from wrightbus. this church is called green pastures, the
6:17 pm
leader is a man called jeff wright. he was also the controlling shareholder of wrightbus and in the years between 2012 and 2017, wrightbus donated more than £15 million to the green pastures church. what they were asking did these donations weaken the company and hasten the job losses? they want answers about how the company was run in recent years. the wright family who control the company said that they were not responsible for the fall of the business because the majority of the £15 million was donated at a time that wrightbus was returning good profits. what sank the company was a deep downturn in the uk bus market, demand for buses in the uk has been falling for the past few yea rs.
6:18 pm
many of the workers were angry and that they do not fully have an expedition how this business was run in the last few years. it is interesting that some of the reports of these protests say that despite the anger there is about these donations and whether or not they might have contributed to the financial problems that subsequently emerged in the group, sir william wright helped found the company, he received quite a warm response to talk to the protesters outside. there is a big difference in how william wright is perceived and jeff wright who has controlled the company and how he is perceived. sir william wright received a round of applause from many of those protesters today. on the day the company went bust, william wright came out to address some of the staff and was applauded at that time. but if you look at some of the posters which have been around bellamy in recent days, some of the slogans which have been scrawled on work shirts and hung from the factory gates, there are more questions and anger directed towards jeff wright the man who's been in control
6:19 pm
of the company in recent years and the man who is also the pastor at that church. he did not come at the street to the workers or media, but he made a tearful address to the congregation in the church and he said he did all he could to help those workers on site find newjobs and asked his congregation to pray for those redundant workers. and john campbell there in belfast. parents should include children in conversations about organ donation, according to the organisation that oversees transplants in the uk. nhs blood and transplant says young patients are waiting on average more than two and a half times longer than adults for similar transplants. our reporter geraint thomas has been following the story of lilly who had a double transplant at the age of 11. my name is lilly kendall. i am 11 years old, and i am waiting for a heart and lung double transplant. at one stage, it looked likely lilly wouldn't even reach the age of 11. she spent herfirst three months in hospital with heart complications.
6:20 pm
medics advised her family to switch off her life—support machine. they managed to control her condition for nine years, but then, she needed a lung and heart transplant. fewer than five children, across the uk, were on the double transplant waiting list at the time. hearts and lungs, in particular, need to be matched by size, so lilly was relying on a child organ donor. we've had a lot of difficult conversations, talking about her funerals, what she would like. we've had a lot of difficult conversations, talking about her funerals, what she would like. this is my daughter's life. this will change her life, and give me my daughter back. a week after we filmed with lilly, she got the call. she was taken to great ormond street hospital, where the double transplant operation took over seven hours to complete. these were lilly's first breaths, with her new lungs. i feel very amazing, very happy. i didn't think i would survive without these new heart and lungs.
6:21 pm
getting more donors to help patients, like lilly, is the challenge. children can sign the organ donor register, and if they are competent to make that decision, then that should be given the same weight as if an adult had signed it. but obviously the final decision, as with adults, is with families, and, therefore, we need families to talk together about what those wishes are. geraint thomas, bbc news. a roundabout featuring a family of four giant wooden hedgehogs has been named as the best in the uk. the roundabout appreciation society described the roundabout in truro, which features hedgehogs named cecile, patricia, denzil and kizzy as "quirky". it also highlighted "beautiful" and "magnificent" roundabouts in birmingham, goole and swindon. the top examples will feature in the society's 2020 calendar.

hello, this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines: the prime minister insists he's been a "model of restraint" in his use of language about brexit. i certainly think everybody should calm down. including you? i think i've been a model of restraint, but i think everybody should calm down. at the conservative party conference in manchester, tory mps have been warned against backing jeremy corbyn as a caretaker prime minister. i'd just say this — history would never forgive you. hong kong sees further clashes between police and pro—democracy protesters ahead of the 70th anniversary of communist rule in china.

6:29 pm
talking of welsh warriors, a memorable day for wales captain alun wyn jones, who received his record 130th cap. i'm pretty happy with the character we showed, particularly in the second half. at times it was dodgy, we had a great first half then we were tentative in the second half, but pleased with the result. it's always easiest to end up defending a lead, which we did in the second half, but credit to the guys in gold, they came at us with everything in the second half. it's day three of the world athletics championships in doha. five gold medals up for grabs this evening and one of those could go to dina asher—smith who's hoping to become the first british woman to win a world championship sprint medal when in the 100 metres. our correspondent natalie pirks is in the stadium. she's got to qualify first in the
6:30 pm
semifinals. yes, that's in just underan semifinals. yes, that's in just under an hour. she's had a pretty good draw and it looks like a foregone conclusion, hopefully, that she will become the first british woman in history to make a 100 metre final. she's had a cracking season. she beat shelly ann fraser pryce. she beat shelly ann fraser pryce. she is speaking at the right time. but fraser pryce, what can you say about her? the most famous sprinter of all time, three olympic and seven world titles. yesterday she recorded the fastest heat time in 100 metres of any women in history. that's faster than dina asher—smith has ever won. elaine thompson, the reigning world champion is here, daphne skipper is here and marie jose, the silver medallist from

6:32 pm
has qualified as well for the 200 semifinal so that is three british people through to the finals of the men's 200 metres. the world's fastest man christian coleman has pulled out of the 200 metres because he felt sought after last night which means we won't see him get to go which means we won't see him get to 9° up which means we won't see him get to go up against noah lyell, his compatriot who is widely tipped to ta ke compatriot who is widely tipped to take the title. we got holly bradshaw in the pole vault who has jumped twice and cleared 4.7, she is the european bronze medallist but it's not that the greek, catalina, she is the olympic, world and european champion so you can't really see past her. are fairly empty stadium at the moment behind you. thank you. lewis hamilton won the russian grand prix to inch closer to a sixth world title. ferrari's race unravelled after sebastien vettel disobeyed team orders by refusing to let team mate charles leclerc through — the german eventually retiring with engine problems as leclerc finished third, having

started from pole. nick parrot reports. it's a victory lewis hamilton will savour because before the russian grand prix it was so unexpected. for the fourth race in a row, charles leclerc started at pole the plan was to let vettel hand back the wind to laclerc but he refused. after much moaning on the radio, ferrari got charles leclerc back on in front. but then engine problems ended their hopes of victory. they changed tyres while racing was suspended. when racing resumed, lewis hamilton surged into an unassailable lead on the way to his ninth win of the season. what should have been a one—two finish for ferrari became a one—two for mercedes, strengthening their grip
6:34 pm
on the championships while leaving ferrari questioning their way forward. elsewhere in motorsport, northern ireland'sjonathan rea secured a fifth straight world superbike title with two he took victory in race two at magny—cours and becomes the first rider to win five world superbikes titles. leicester demonstrated why they may be the team to break into the premier league's top four this season, beating necastle five nil at the king power stadium to move up to third, two points behind manchester city. in 2016, leicester but at the centre of the footballing world and have lofty ambitions again. since brendan rodgers took over, only liverpool and manchester city have won more points. james madison has been key in that but with him injured, the foxes were looking for someone else to spark against newcastle. it didn't take long. ricardo with the
6:35 pm
brilliant run and even better finish, leicester with the lead. newcastle just couldn't get hold of the ball and they couldn't control their temper, a horrific challenge from isaac hayden on dennis pratt quickly deemed worthy of a red card. once again, it wasn't going to plan and it only got worse, particularly whenjamie and it only got worse, particularly when jamie vardy did and it only got worse, particularly whenjamie vardy did whatjamie vardy does best. the floodgates were open, the foxes running riot. jamie vardy scored a second before wilfred made it five. more misery for the magpies. leicester, to clinical, too good and back into third. we saw how bad the conditions where for the main's road race. the men's road race title was won
6:36 pm
by mads pedersen as wet conditions saw the race shortened in yorkshire. he becomes the first dane to win the title, teo geoghen hart was the highest finishing brit, but was way down this was no day for a bike ride. relentless rain meant this would be a road race with a difference, the route shortened and diverted, the riders battling through miles of treacherous waterlogged country. supported by spectators on the hillside. a test of technique and tenacity. the race bottlenecked as it entered harrogate, a town built around spa water, covered in rainwater. one of the favourites philip gilbert couldn't recover the ground lost. others fell away including the defending champion. of the british riders, adam yates and ben swift fought hard to stay in it but the race was being stretched by a series of exhausting attacks. the final duel was against the italian matteo and danish mads pedersen. a riveting race had a final twist.
6:37 pm
what a race and what a victory for mads pedersen, the new world champion roared home in the rain. the weather has been awful, but the enthusiasm of the crowd right along the route has made this a day of celebration as well as saturation. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening, coming up next next is the film review. hello there. welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's
6:38 pm
releases we have got mark kermode. we have actually got some quite interesting movies. a very interesting week, we have ready or not which is a highly regarded comedy horror. we have the goldfinch, an adaptation of a much loved book. and skin, jamie bell as a tattooed white supremacist. ready or not, i saw, i haven't seen the film but i have seen the trailer, and i feel like i've seen the film! here is the thing, a fairly straightforward set—up, so samara weaving is this bride who is going to marry alex who is from a very, very posh family, a dynasty, or as he calls it, a dominion. they are called the le domas clan. she gets in there, she discovers that they are all strange and weird and creepy, but andie macdowell says it's fine, they'll all be fine. and then her husband says, "now, there is one thing, a family tradition. at 12 o'clock, we have to play a game. you have to choose a game, and it will all be fine, it is just a family tradition. but we have to do it."
6:39 pm
at 12 o'clock, she chooses the game, she chooses hide and seek, and then she discovers that when the family play hide and seek, they play to keep. here's a clip. ijust came to get a drink. i have to call the others. no, you don't. no, you can help me. please. this doesn't end well for you. ijust don't want to be the one to serve you up. daniel, i'm begging you. i'm really sorry about all this. it's true what they say — that the rich really are different. i'll give you a ten—second head start. daniel... and it is described as a horror
6:40 pm
comedy, or a comedy horror? is it scary and is it funny? yes. and the best thing about it is, i mean, you laughed after that line when he says that the rich really are different, and that is a theme that has run through a lot of kind of satirical horror. there is a film directed by brian yuzna called society which starts off like a kind of preppy satire, and then turns into this really sgrungy, strange, mind—bending, almost alien thing. in the case of this, it has got a very good setup, she goes to the family, they are weird, they play this game, it turns out to be deadly. so there's a little bit of the purge about it. but, tonally, the film it's close to is sam raimi's original evil dead. which are for a long time was thought of as a video nasty, but is actually a comedy film. sam raimi himself said it's a three stooges movie which just happens to have blood and guts instead of custard pies. and in the case of this, what i really liked about it that it cracks along at a pace. quite often a comedy horror has a good setup, and then it will flag in the second or third act. when you get to the end, you think it is running its course.
6:41 pm
this actually accelerates in pace, and in the final act, in the cinema that i was in, i heard as much laughing and as much grimacing, that kind of response, as i have heard in any decent comedy horror recently. i thought it was really well done, it is really good fun, it doesn't outstay its welcome, there is not an inch of fat on it, and if you like comedy and you like horror, you'll like this. there was one line where somebody says, "oh, geez, you shot the maid!" and that shouldn't be funny, but it kind of is. it is, it is a ghoulish black comedy. but it's played very well. all right. the goldfinch, which is a very chunky book by donna tartt. you've read the book, right? yeah. did you like the book? i did, i didn't love it, but the secret history, which she also did, was amazing. i thought it was good. but apparently the film... the film is not great. the film is too loyal to the book. well, i don't know, because the weird thing is, i haven't read the book. when i was watching the film, which is a story about a young man who has a terrible tragedy in his past which he blames himself for, he is obsessed with the loss of his mother and also with the titular painting. i'm sure the book is
6:42 pm
about many, many things. the film it just felt like, on the one hand, everything was very rushed, on the other hand, everything was really slow. and ijust wanted it to stop and to finish, because it felt like 2.5 hours of thinking, "i'm trying to condense something which is actually quite weighty and profound into a movie which cannot bear the weight of it." this is the worst thing about it, and no—one has said this about the book. it's actually quite boring as a film. which, considering the amount of intrigue and interweaving plot, the paintings here, the paintings there, this person is this, double—crossing, and grief and love and all of that sort of stuff. and some great performers, ansel elgort, who i like very much, written by peter straughan who co—wrote tinker, tailor, directed by the guy who gave us brooklyn. i mean, it has a great pedigree. and yet you watch it... nicole kidman, and you ask, why none of this is working? i think there are one of two answers — either that it is genuinely an unfilmable book, and i don't know because i haven't read it, or more likely, it's just not a very good film. and i think the honest truth of it is it's just not a very good film.
6:43 pm
well, when you said you couldn't wait for it to finish, i think we got the hint. that's always a giveaway. always a giveaway! right, then we have skin, which is jamie bell, who we last saw in rocketman. the unbelievably versatile jamie bell. you see him in three or four movies with completely different roles. this is based on the real—life story of a tattooed white supremacist who was the subject of a documentary in 2011 called erasing hate, and the title refers to the tattoos, the racist insignia that he has all over his face and his body. so jamie bell is the central character, he has been brought up as part of a neo—nazi family led by this very creepy ma and pa. but when he decides that he wanted to go his own way, he wants to break out and wants to form his own family, they at first accuse him of betrayal, and secondly, follow him. here's a clip. you're still breathing because i own you. and every inch of ink on you. the only way anyone else gets
6:44 pm
access to your trophies is if i ex them out myself. breathing and heart rate accelerate. so who is it? feds? jenkins? splc? what did you give them, son? so the interesting thing about it is that you see the film, the perspective of that central character, who is a white supremacist with all of these tattoos all over his face. and it reminded me to some extent, there is a film called romper stomper, an antipodean movie from the ‘90s that actually made a star of russell crowe. which also saw the film from the perspective
6:45 pm
of a racist skinhead. and the central message of the film is that nobody is beyond redemption. it's about the idea that people fall into that kind of hatred because something within them is broken. so at the very beginning of the film, you see him involved in hideous activities. and then the film itself still retains a sort of sympathetic edge towards the idea that actually, there is a reason why he has fallen into all of this stuff. i mean, jamie bell is brilliant, and very few performers, i think, could have carried off the part. it is a risky role to play it, and i think he does it very well. the film is also made with a great deal of sincerity and a great deal of conviction. and it is tough viewing sometimes. it has a very interesting musical score and a very interesting soundtrack. but what i liked about it was it isn't a film which sees things in simple yes—no terms. it is absolutely about the idea that you have to look beneath the skin to see the causes of this kind of thing. and actually, i thought the drama played out rather well. it is well done. it's not scared to be confrontational, and it doesn't shy away from showing just how vicious
6:46 pm
the stuff that he has been involved in is. do you empathise with him at the end? i think by the end of the film, what you understand is, the central message of the film, that people fall into these kind of extremist views because of something that is broken in them. and it's about understanding that, that this doesn't happen, that they are preyed upon by people preying upon the weak and the broken and people who have problems that actually can be dealt with. 0k. best out? well, i really, really like the farewell. this is a drama from lulu wang, with a great performance by awkwafina. she discovers that her grandmother is terminally ill, but nobody will tell the grandmother. and so there's this family gathering in which everybody knows the grandmother is terminally ill except the grandmother. and it's beautifully sort of bittersweet, it's very tender, it's very funny. despite the fact that it's often very, very sad, it has a great musical score. and terrific performances. and i went in really not knowing much about it at all. and you know there is a particular
6:47 pm
joy when you see a film that completely catches you off—guard. you only see the title and a couple of things. i mean, i hadn't seen the poster, which has got all of these kind of fantastic reviews on it. the best way to see a movie! it really is. there is a realjoy in seeing something, in a way, i've probably spoiled that already, but believe me, if you want something different, something that has got a real heart and soul and will make you laugh and cry, and when you come out you will ring or hug yourfamily, that is the farewell. and best dvd? so dvd and blu—ray, the shining extended cut. you know that stanley kubrick sort of famously fiddled around with a lot of his films. there is a longer version of the shining which hadn't been released theatrically before in the uk until i think four orfive months ago. wow. it's now available on dvd and blu—ray. i think everybody knows a version of the shining. and i'm not entirely sure that the extended version is better than the original. how much extended is it? it's not hugely. there are some key... i mean, the way that people always refer to it is you know you are watching the extended cut because there's a bunch of skeletons sitting in armchairs.
6:48 pm
and it is possible to watch the extended cut and think, i'm not entirely sure... there were some additional scenes put in which were taken out by stanley kubrick as he tightened it up. but i think the shining itself still holds up. everybody talks about jack nicholson, shelley duvall is the real genius in that film because her performance is so raw and so ragged, if you look at what any of the on—set making of footage, that performance was really tough for her. i mean, she had a very, very tough time on set. and she is brilliant. jack nicholson, yes, but shelley duvall is the hero of that film. yeah, it is a classic which i love but i'm not sure i want to see it again! mark, thank you very much. go see ready or not. it has got more laughs. i will, definitely. i fancy that. ok, that is it for this week. thank you so much for watching. good bye. hello there.
6:49 pm
all the heavy rain we have seen over the last 24 hours or so continues to work down the river catchments and we have a number of flood warnings in force across england and wales. and with more heavy rain in the forecast over the next couple of days, the situation could get worse for some before it gets better. mind you, it's quite ropey at the moment. the roads near derbyshire are locally flooded. today's weather has been brought by this curl of cloud but we are monitoring this next one. this is going to be bringing some heavy rain back to england and wales as we go through monday and tuesday. as i say, things could get worse before they get better. the radar picture at the moment is picking up an area of persistent terrain across parts of northern and eastern england. 20 of showers elsewhere, so it has been a pretty unsettled day and it is all down to this area of low—pressure. as the low search to pull away eastwards during the evening, the winds will start to strengthen for a time across east anglia and southeast england. but for the second half of the night, those winds will fall light for many of us. and with clear skies, a few mist and fog patches forming particularly in some of the river valleys. and it is going to be a chilly one. temperatures in the towns and cities down to single figures,
6:50 pm
a few showers continuing across northern scotland and that is how we start the day on monday. otherwise, a bright start to the day and drive for many of us with some sunshine. but it is not going to stay that way. the next area of low—pressure quickly bringing quality or whether and some heavy rain back in across even and wales as the day goes by. we could see as much as 70 mm of rain over the high ground. so, again, that could lead to some localised flooding issues. certainly going to be some difficult driving conditions out and about. the rain then continues through monday night and into tuesday. and very gradually eases as we go through the day as the low pressure moves its way eastwards. now, it might be raining in the south but it's still relatively mild. it's 18 degrees in london but with northerly winds kicking up for the rest of the uk, it is going to turn noticeably cooler. 12 for belfast, nine for aberdeen and lerwick. in fact factoring than those northerly winds, i think it really will feel quite chilly. cooler air makes its way
6:51 pm
all the way down to the south of the united kingdom as we head into wednesday. so, a chilly start to the day. but it should be a decent day for any of us with probably the best weather of the week. should be fine with some sunshine, some cloud bubbling up, a few showers from northern scotland and perhaps one or two running down the north sea coast but cooler.

this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 7pm. the prime minister insists he's been a "model of restraint" in his use of language about brexit. i certainly think everybody should calm down. and i certainly think... including you? i think i've been a model of restraint. at the start of the conservative party conference a key announcement is made on new funding for hospitals in england. running clashes in hong kong mark some of the worst violence, in more than three months, of anti—government protests. exit polls suggest austria's former chancellor, sebastian kurz, will win the general election just four months since he was ousted from power. a bbc investigation uncovers suffering and abuse at licensed puppy farms, in west wales.
